Sour Session IPA is a hoppy and refreshing beer. To create the soft acidity in this beer, we use the same process as our Boiler Room Berliner Weisse. Whirlpool and dry hop additions of Citra and Mosaic create a citrus and berry forward beer that finishes tart and fruity. You can settle in for a session with this one.

Citra and Mosaic hops with lactobacillus, added as a Wild Ale.
A: Pours a pale yellow color, with just a touch of haze. A small white head forms with lace left behind.
S: Berry and citrus like up front, its that typical and classic Mosaic characteristic. Thats about it, not a lot of malt or any souring bugs in the nose.
T: Again, all that berry and citrus flavor you would expect from the hops. A simple tartness lingers on. Needs a little more oomph, but not bad while drinking at the restaurants patio.
M/O: A light body with high carbonation. Crisp and effervescent, finishes with a dry and clean acidic bite that pulls at the cheeks. Which makes this easy to come back for more. Easy enough to drink, and not bad at all, though not something I'm going to seek out a lot in the future.
Saint Arnold always puts a premium on subtle easy to drink beers. This is definitely that, and probably exactly what they wanted to make. Its not bad by any means, but this is a style they could have amped up the "sourness" and I would be A-OK with that. I feel this could have been much better, but as is just OK.
